I should hate this just as much as any Sonic Syndicate song, but I'm acutally kinda digging this. It seems that Soilwork is one of those rare bands that actually make good "modern" metal without sounding sterile/bored/uninspired. Most of their songs are energetic and fun. And on top of that they actually sound like they were having a good time making the music.

First listen, and wow, that was really cool. Lots of great hooks and riffs. Insane drumming, too, even though I know there's some Protooling involved. For the first listen, I was impressed as hell. That closing track "Kingdom of Tyrants" had some great melodies, too. Damn. Yeah, this'll be getting some more spins for sure. I was reminded of Misery Index sometimes, too.

Now playing: Timeghoul - 1992-1994 Discography

I'm so glad this was released on CD. Some awesome demos from a band who could've reached some potential later on. I prefer Panaramic Twilight because it's a little more unusual but I do like the whole thing. Great compilation.

Vocals are debatable of course, but the riffs are insane on that one. One of my favourite tech death albums.

Today I've listened to:Between the Bured and Me - s/t (wonderful to see how they've progressed from goofy angry hardcore to goofy all over the place prog)Darkspace - Dark Space II (only about 30 minutes of material... Not really as good as III either)Kekal - The Habit of Fire (not my favourite of theirs, since it gets a bit aimless towards the end, but it's still a great album)

Seriously BTBAM have never let me down especially when they released Alaska. I was blown away.
